Uber is now available in Hangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, in addition to the capital. Uber users can request a ride at any time using their iPhone and Android apps. Input where you want to be picked up, set your pickup location and Uber will select the nearest driver to pick you up.

There is no need to hand your driver any payment at all, as Uber will automatically charge the credit card you have on file. Uber is available for both iOS and Android.
